The news has been full of late of news regarding the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, Russian spy and hated opponent of Putin. I know it’s a horrible thing to say but the first thing that I always think of is that the Russians know how to do things.You step out of line with the man […]

Now you may believe this or not, but I am now to be known as Reverend P.J. Morledge having been ordained by Saint Luke’s Evangelical Christian Ministeries. My ordination papers arrived on the 27th and I have to say it has created quite a curious feeling. I can’t exactly place it but there is something […]

It’s a little after 4 in the morning and after a little more than 4 hours sleep I’m sat downstairs with a steaming mug of coffee and a peed off frame of mind. Rachel decided to take herself off round to her friends house for a few hours (another Rachel) and for the first part […]

Whereas in this country a protest vote usually results in little more than a party change in some obscure Scottish by-election, the US is now stuck with […]

After a few weeks of blissful silence we were hit with another flurry of Tax Credits demands, and a couple of new addresses to add to the list of offices we are being forced to deal with. It reminded me that I hadn’t checked on the old petition for a while and having forgot the […]
